My least favorite car is the one I did a test drive but ended up not buying, a 1980 Citation. I just graduated from college and was looking for my first real car. The Citation was supposed to be GM’s big entry with front- wheel drive (beyond the Olds Toronado) and got lots of press. I recall one review, probably in Popular Science, that tried to be kind with statements like “it’s a car you actually have to drive” meaning it didn’t track well. In the test drive it felt like I was driving an old pickup truck. It didn’t help that it was painted yellow, as in “lemon” yellow. I bought a Toyota Tercel instead, and never had a problem with it
